Huge THANK YOU to David Ebenbach for this generous review of my book, If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun, in the new Asheville Poetry Review, together with Matthew Lippman’s new book, Mesmerizingly Sadly Beautiful, a poet whose work I deeply adore, to put it lightly. How awesome to be reviewed together!
“These books, in their flights from the personal to the ceiling of the universe and back again, truck in classic themes of love and purpose, and yet they do it in a way that finds readers where they are in the peculiarity of the moment. Citro and Lippman are two voices we really need right now.”
My book is 1 year old! Happy birthday to my second poetry book If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun, winner of the Antivenom Poetry Award and published by Elixir Press!
